Lovly Bar — Restaurant in Municipality of Kos

You would be forgiven for thinking you have stumbled upon a secret gem of a place. However, seeing the number of reviews and how many tables the owner was trying to squeeze in, I feel like we were the only ones not to know of the place already.

Super friendly staff made us feel like we were already regulars. The restaurant is really charming and has superb sea views.

The selection of food is vast and the barbeque is a bit of a legend.

Just about everything on the menu has been made in-house using ingredients that have been produced in the family's farm.

At the end of our meal (which actually started a quick drinks visit but resulted in a table full of food) the bill was embarrassingly small. I felt like we were ripping them off!

Incredible value for money, perfect (hidden) location, superb food and friendly staff make this place irresistible.

We will definitely be back and do not hesitate...

Our experience: we arrived at 8.05pm, in time to admire the beautiful sunset with the sun sinking into the sea. Let me start by saying that there are only two people taking care of the numerous tables. An hour after we had ordered (an octopus and fried calamari (we wanted fresh fish but it was finished)), they came to ask us if everything was okay but we hadn't been served anything yet: we pointed it out and after a while the octopus you see in the photo arrives presented as "small but fresh". If you look at the other photos in the reviews you will see that the portion is usually much bigger but we were still charged €15 and also it was badly cooked, almost burnt. After another 10 minutes the fried squid arrived, also not cooked at its best but at least a little more abundant. In short, if you want to dine while admiring a wonderful sunset, go there, but expect...

Please don't leave Kos island before coming here. While watching the sunset over the sea, you can enjoy the island's most delicious and freshest dishes with your glass of ouzo. The owner, Tasos, is one of the kindest people I’ve ever met. His wife prepares the food, and his brother is a fisherman—everything is fresh, straight from the sea to your table. They even serve vegetables from their own fields, all cooked right away and served to you. This tradition has been going on for 19 years. It’s a simple, authentic Greek experience.

We spent our best day on the island with Tasos and his family. After closing the restaurant, they took us to a honey festival in their town, where we danced the Sirtaki together. It was an unforgettable night. Thank you so...
